Souness can be annoying but he nailed the Ronaldo/Messi debate. People don't really appreciate just how incredible they are, Ronaldo probably more so. I'd throw Iniesta in the mix too. You could be looking at the two best players to ever play the game - On a weekly basis they just tear apart top level opposition, their consistency is like nothing I've ever seen.

That hat-trick was all kinds of incredible. 158 in 154, outrageous.

You have to keep in mind Messi is still probably 3-4 years away from his peak. He's definitely been off form these days though, his girlfriend is pregnant and I think she is due pretty soon. It's been obvious last 3 games or so that Messi's head is elsewhere. Still managed a good 5 or 6 assists though.

I didn't see any of the games today, kind of wish I saw City and BVB though.

Gentlemen, if you lose today you will continue to be the best in the world but if you win today you will be eternal.

Barring any injury problems Messi really should down as the best ever. I'm not sure if it's really possible for him to improve much more than what he has done, or if it's possible for any human to top that. Even maintaining it would be incredible.

I do have slight concerns about the amount of games he's in recent seasons. He's not the physical freak Ronaldo is and I hope his body holds up. His skill is just so far beyond that of any player I've seen, it's almost unfair.
